Study Notes
Computer Science - Class XI
- The CPU receives instructions and data from memory.
- It performs arithmetic and logic operations, storing results in memory.
- During processing, data and instructions are temporarily stored in CPU registers.
- Registers are limited in size and number, used for various data types.
- The CPU also has an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) and Control Unit (CU).
- ALU handles arithmetic & logic operations, and the CU manages instruction execution flow.
- CU controls program execution flow and manages data flow.
Input Devices
- Input devices convert data into a digital format usable by a computer system.
- Examples include keyboards, mice, scanners, touchscreens, etc.
- Braille keyboards are designed for visually impaired users.
- Voice recognition, leveraging Google's technology, can be used to input data.
- Input data is temporarily stored in the main memory (RAM).
Output Devices
- Output devices convert digital information into a human-readable format.
- Examples include monitors, printers, 3D printers, headphones, speakers, and projectors.
- Braille displays aid in textual output interpretation for visually impaired users.
- Printers (inkjet, laser, dot matrix) produce physical output.
- 3D printers create physical replicas of digital designs.
Computer Evolution
- Computing devices evolved from simple calculators to powerful data processors.
- Early devices included the Pascaline (mechanical calculator) and tabulating machines (using punched cards).
- The ENIAC and EDVAC computers marked advancements in stored-program architecture.
- Modern computers utilize integrated circuits (ICs) for high-speed processing.
